I have an unusual job. I teach robots how to dance. In 2017, I transitioned from dancing
on stages with humans to dancing with robots. Big robots, small robots, single-arms, and roving robots. Robots that fly, vacuuming robots. A lot of robots that look like humans. And a whole bunch that don't. I'm pretty sure I've choreographed and danced with more
different types of robots than anyone on Earth. Why do I do this? Because robots move, and choreographers understand
how movement affects us. If a robot slides politely
out of a doorway to let you pass, it might make you feel seen and acknowledged. If a robot marches quickly towards you
and avoids you at the last second, it might cause revulsion and fear. Robots are beginning to show up
in our everyday environments, from sidewalks to offices,
backyards to hospitals. And they will be threatening
and confusing to us if we do not carefully
examine how they move.

I'm also a roboticist and an engineer. I study this connection between
robot motion and emotion. I combine my expertise
in robotics and dance in the emerging field of choreo-robotics, the intersection of dance and robotics. Right now, we're giving AI a robot body
with physical intelligence. AI technologies like GPT and Gemini
are becoming the robot's brains, which means that robots
are getting smarter. Much smarter. Think of what AI has already done
to text and video generation. We are just scratching the surface
on seeing what AI can do in the physical world. We are going to be interacting with these new intelligent
robots more and more, interacting with them through movement. Roboticists already spend a lot of time
thinking about movement, but they think about it
in terms of efficiency, optimizing for speed or success. That's not enough. We need to teach robots how to dance. If a robot can dance, make every movement
with intention, agility, balance.

emotional expression and grace. I believe they will also become
better caregivers, teachers, and companions. It will help us build better
general-purpose robots that we actually want to live amongst us. If we teach robots to dance, we expand the future
of intelligent machines. Choreographers and engineers have made
dances with robots since the 1990s, and these highly scripted performances
have captured the public's imagination. They've made us feel wonder, made us laugh, made us want to dance along, and sometimes made us never want
to meet a robot in real life. Dancing with robots is no longer
just about art or entertainment. It is about transferring the lessons
that one, all movement changes emotions, and two, contextual movement
is critically important, and applying those lessons to robots
in our everyday lives. Robotics engineers are beginning
to consider emotion and context when designing intelligent
machines that interact with us. The choices we make now are going to dictate
how we live our lives with robots.

If we get this right, robots will be more welcomed,
safe, and delightful. Humans will be more empowered
and comfortable. Before AI, programmers
needed hours to script a simple dance sequence for robot to perform. Just like they needed hours to script
the robot to open a single door. With AI, you can teach the robot
to open just a few specific doors, and it will learn to open all of them, even ones it hasn't seen before. It's also true for dance. You can teach the robot
to dance with a specific person, and it will learn how to dance and move with many others in many different
environments and circumstances. This is what I did at Everyday Robots, then a robot AI moonshot at Google. But rather than teach one robot, I used AI to teach 15 robots
how to move together as a flock. We imagined a world where you could walk
down a hallway filled with robots, and they would part to make space for you.

like a flock of doves or a crowd
of people on a city street. Where a robot could navigate seamlessly
and even beautifully through a busy, chaotic Times Square. The world we live in is complicated
for robots to understand, so it was impossible to script
or choreograph interactions like these step by step. We needed to use the magic of AI to teach the robots
how to improvise and react. This was a massive challenge
that had never been done before, and the result is an interactive
performance and installation work called Project Starling. This took us two years
of hardcore engineering to complete. We trained an AI agent
on the preferences of a choreographer, me. I chose the most engaging
patterns and sequences. We also taught the robots how to recognize and respond to human gestures. While we were at it, we turned the robots
into musical instruments. Each joint on the robot
was mapped to a different sound. When the robot's torso moved,
triggered a bass sound.

Its hand opening and closing
triggered a bell sound. The robot's actions created
its own unique symphony. This is what Project Starling looks like. Our AI generated movement
and our robot generated music. (Music) (Music ends) (Applause). I wanted it to feel like stepping out
of your normal reality and into a waking dream, one that was so far
from where we stand today. Yet, all the same felt like a world where your kids could
grow up and feel calm, where you could be surrounded by machines
and it felt natural and safe. People were drawn to just wander
amongst these robots. You know, some were a bit tentative at first, but then they began to engage and explore with curiosity and playfulness. People kept coming back. What we learned about gesture, navigation, human interaction, and expression
can be applied to robots more generally. Think of the following future scenario. A robot in a senior living facility.

waiting in a crowded cafe. You sit at your table. You wave over to it,
make a sipping gesture, and the robot understands
that you would like a glass of water. And when it drives over to you,
with its glass of water, it nods at the other people it passes and pauses graciously to let them go by. And when it arrives at your table,
it places the glass gracefully down. And when you thank it,
it nods in acknowledgment. Maybe it even performs a small
celebratory dance in place. We can choose to build and program
robots that we welcome, robots that make us feel understood, robots that we want to spend time with. The promise of robots that will live
and work amongst us has existed for a very long time, from Karel Capek's 1920 play
Rossum's Universal Robots to The Jetsons' Rosey the Robot to C-3PO of Star Wars
and even Terminator.

these stories have been deeply impactful
in what we imagine and build. Yes, we can have robots
that do our chores. But we can also have robots
be our dance partners. Humans do a range of things, ceramics to diplomacy, singing in choirs to vertical farming. Imagine a world where robots
can do a myriad of things that are functional or creative, and everything in between. General-purpose robots are coming, and they will help us to address
big demographic challenges like aging populations
and massive labor shortages. And how they move will unlock whether we let them into our homes and welcome them in our workplaces. Because we want to feel
like we're still marvelously human in this increasingly AI world. And we can, because we have the power
to choreograph the future we want. Thank you. (Applause)

로봇에게 춤을 가르치다: 춤과 로봇공학의 교차점

로봇의 움직임은 인간의 감정을 불러일으킬 수 있으며, 이러한 연관성을 연구하는 것이 안무 로봇학의 초점입니다.

AI 기술이 발전하면서 로봇에 신체적 지능을 부여하고 움직임을 통해 인간과 상호 작용할 수 있는 능력을 부여하고 있습니다.

목표는 로봇이 단순히 동작의 효율성과 속도를 넘어 의도성, 민첩성, 균형을 갖춘 춤을 추도록 가르치는 것입니다.

로봇에게 춤을 가르치는 것이 미치는 영향

로봇에게 춤을 가르치면 로봇의 감정 표현과 인간과의 상호작용을 향상시킬 수 있습니다.

이러한 AI와 춤의 통합은 로봇이 다양한 환경과 사회적 상호작용에 더 잘 적응할 수 있도록 로봇공학의 미래를 바꿀 수 있습니다.

이전 Google AI 프로젝트에서는 여러 로봇이 함께 움직이도록 가르치는 기능을 시연하여 로봇이 공유 공간에서 인간과 공존할 수 있는 잠재적인 미래를 보여주었습니다.

로봇에게 즉흥 연주를 가르치기: 프로젝트 스탈링 스토리

로봇은 타임스퀘어와 같은 혼란스러운 환경을 탐색하는 법을 배웠고, 인터랙티브 공연인 프로젝트 스탈링에서 정점을 찍었습니다.

이 AI 에이전트는 안무가의 선호도를 학습하여 매력적인 움직임 패턴을 만들어내는 동시에 로봇을 악기처럼 사용할 수 있게 되었습니다.

이 프로젝트는 인간과 기계가 자연스럽고 안전하게 공존할 수 있는 세상을 만드는 것을 목표로 했으며, 이를 통해 얻은 인사이트를 노인 생활 시설과 같은 다양한 환경의 로봇에 적용할 수 있도록 했습니다.

인간과의 상호작용을 위한 로봇 제작

로봇은 작업을 수행할 뿐만 아니라 인간을 이해하고 환영받는다는 느낌을 주는 방식으로 인간과 상호 작용하도록 설계되고 있습니다.

인구학적 문제와 노동력 부족 문제를 해결하기 위해 범용 로봇이라는 개념이 등장하고 있습니다.

로봇의 미래는 로봇이 다양한 기능적이고 창의적인 활동에 참여할 수 있는 세상을 만들고, 잠재적으로 우리의 댄스 파트너가 되어 인공지능이 주도하는 세상에서 인간과의 연결에 대한 필요성을 해결하는 것입니다.
